How limescale buildup affects appliances and boiler energy costs
Water described as “Hard” is high in dissolved minerals, specifically calcium and magnesium. Hard water is not a health risk, but a nuisance because of mineral buildup that shortens the life or leads to the complete failure of such appliances. Pipes can become clogged with scale that reduces water flow and ultimately requires pipe replacement. Limescale has been known to increase energy costs by 25% or more.
